One More Last Kiss
Ivy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm not afraid to start over.
It's just a feeling that we shared.
They can't take that away.
I'm not afraid to be lonely.
It's just a question of how long, how long I have to wait.

So one more last kiss like two prisoners.
One more last kiss to hold on to.
One more last kiss just to remember you
before we fade away, before we fade away.

I'm not here making excuses.
But no apologies could change
the way this all will end.
We're only just what we're made of.
I'm only sorry that we can't have this chance again.

So one more last kiss like two prisoners.
One more last kiss to hold on to.
One more last kiss just to remember you
before we fade away, before we fade away.

So one more last kiss like two prisoners.
One more last kiss to hold on to.
One more last kiss just to remember you
before we fade away;
One more last kiss like two prisoners.
One more last kiss to hold on to.




One more last kiss just to remember you
before we fade away, before we fade away.
